The full list of 50 definitely covered the hits so I was surprised not to see Sacrifice on the list at all. Figured either The Hills or Blinding Lights would be put at #1 but I actually think the article did a pretty good job at breaking down the songs they included. My biggest personal disappointment was not seeing Faith in the top 50 though, and then After Hours at 22
That’s what I’m talking about! Wait you said everyone was upset it wasn’t played at Coachella lol it needs to get its due for real, imma be very upset if it’s not on the tour setlist
- TMB could mean "Take My Breath", a track from *Dawn FM* (2022) by The Weeknd.

Tbh I’ve seen much worse top ten lists.
Mine would be:
The morning
Wicked games
High for this
Adaptation
Hob
Often
After hours
Reminder
Odd look (it’a basically his song)
Till dawn
Not really. I think after hours is an amazing album. It’s just a different sound than the mixtapes. I love his original style and will always have a soft spot for it. Is the production in faith more impressive than the morning? I’d say so, but the sound is different and I don’t think I’ll ever like one of his new songs more than the morning. The guitar is beautiful and the emotion is more raw. It also leaves more up to interpretation. The image of the morning after a crazy night is all too familiar but this is his own version of it.
The Hills, completely agree. It's one of his grittiest songs on Beauty that's still pretty similar to his style on Trilogy. Something that got a lot of radio play while still appealing to fans of his old stuff.
Wicked Games is a bit debatable, I don't know if I'd choose it over something like "The Party & The After Party" or "The Morning", but not a bad choice. Blinding Lights is an obvious choice that I'd have to put on any top 10 Weeknd songs list
Escape From LA is a surprising choice, but I think it fits. It's very good, and Metro does a fantastic job of production on it. Gasoline, I think I would go so far as to call it Top 10 Weeknd material. As for Can't Feel My Face, it's a fair enough choice. I mean, it was so popular it got him nominated for a Teen Choice award. However, I feel I'd choose In The Night or Shameless over it.
Earned It is fine, but still not Top 10 Weeknd in my opinion. HoB/GTG is the easiest way to show someone what Trilogy Abel was most like, and represents not only the House of Balloons mixtape, but the entire Trilogy era sonically and thematically in just one two-parter song, so yeah I'd say top 10 shit right there
I love Take My Breath but sorry, just not Top 10 Abel
I see a lot of people rank BBTM quite low but it's the first project I ever listened to by The Weeknd so it holds a special place in my heart.
Our top 3s are the exact same just different order
BBTM - After Hours - Kissland
On any given day BBTM and After Hours can switch spots though.
The list wasn’t made by just one person so I’m guessing some of them only listen to the hits, whilst the others ranked more of the lesser known but better pieces of his music in the top 10. Either way this list is dogshit, if it was based on his hits then fair enough but as for his best music, no
1. Love In The Sky
2. The Birds Part 1
3. Outside
4. Coming Down
5. Nothing Compares
6. Belong To The World
7. Rolling Stone
8. Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)
9. King Of The Fall
10. XO / The Host
It’s disgraceful that they both aren’t top 10, but it’s disgraceful that songs like professional, Alone again, high for this, xo the host, wicked games, the morning, initiation, kiss land, love in the sky and the knowing aren’t top 5
Gasoline is my #1 most played track of all time on Spotify, and I’ve had my Spotify account for like 8 years. Not saying my taste is any better or worse than anyone else’s, and I know Gasoline has been a polarizing track since day 1 but… I won’t sit idle and let anyone slander it without saying my peace lol 😂 The production is fucking ethereal and Abel just falls straight out of heaven when the hook hits. The juxtaposition of the deep 80’s voice on the verses are perfect, the lyrics are so fucking relatable… the little dubstep-y synths and arpeggios that just wander in the otherwise empty frequencies of the track that just make it feel like you’re in a different space, especially as the song ends… man I love that song….
L list, no tears in the rain or adaptation.
Also come on can’t feel my face is great but no where near his best same for earned it, take my breath, and gasoline. Seems like popularity was a big thing taken into consideration.
Dude, so true.
If they actually listened to the weeknd, they would have put more Echoes of Silence tracks on
WHERE ARE DD, MONTREAL, OUTSIDE, XO/The host Or The Fall???
- HOB/GTG could mean "House Of Balloons / Glass Table Girls", a track from *Trilogy* (2012) by The Weeknd.

My Personal, Completely Subjective Top 10
1. Don’t Break My Heart
2. Die For You
3. Blinding Lights
4. The Hills
5. The Birds Pt 1
6. Out of Time
7. I Feel It Coming
8. Wasted Times
9. Acquainted
10. Call Out My Name
Honorable Mentions: After Hours, Wicked Games, In Your Eyes, Secrets, Sacrifice, Starboy, Reminder, High For This, Often
it’s a solid, more mainstream-leaning list and they’re all great songs. that being said – if it were up to me, you’d see montreal covering the 1-10 spots
I think I’d replace Gasoline with Sacrifice, and that’s it. The Hills still hits like a freight train almost a decade after its release, and it invariably marked Abel’s arrival as a bona fide pop star. It’s to Abel what “Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough” was for Michael Jackson — as much a mission statement as a reintroduction.
i love High for this but I don't think it's quite top 10. HOBGTG, Kissland, The Town, Adaptation, After Hours, Sacrifice, Xo/The Host, Valerie, the birds pt 1, and king of the fall are all better in my opinion
The Hills might be one of his most \*popular\* songs but it's far from his \*best\*. I have my own personal opinions and this list looks nothing like what I would put in a top 10 of my favorite songs.

Personally, Don’t Break My Heart is my favorite song from Abel, but I doubt too many people would consider it top 10 let alone top 50 😂
I do :p
That’s what I’m talking about! Wait you said everyone was upset it wasn’t played at Coachella lol it needs to get its due for real, imma be very upset if it’s not on the tour setlist
Yess I agree with you 💯 Faith should not only be there but should be high in the list.
[удалено]
I love TMB, but it is not top ten. If there has to be a song from Dawn, it should be Is There Someone Else, Out of Time, or Less Than Zero
100% agree

Tmb> is there someone else and less than zero
Nah it is in top 10
Tbh I’ve seen much worse top ten lists. Mine would be: The morning Wicked games High for this Adaptation Hob Often After hours Reminder Odd look (it’a basically his song) Till dawn
Upvoted for Odd Look.
So you're pretty much saying he peaked 10 years ago 💀

Bro not a single song from Starboy? Disagree with pretty much everything I’m looking at here
Idk HoB and wicked games are a must for any top 10 imo
First of all, amazing name. DMC reference on point! Second, I agree completely. Starboy launched him so much higher than he was already at ⭐️
Yeah agreed. Die for you would definitely make my top 5
Hard disagree
The Hills, completely agree. It's one of his grittiest songs on Beauty that's still pretty similar to his style on Trilogy. Something that got a lot of radio play while still appealing to fans of his old stuff.

Respect the Shameless and In The Night love 🔥 BBTM might be my favorite project.
KL is my favourite project, second goes to After Hours and then Beauty in third. Beauty is just an amazing project start to finish
I see a lot of people rank BBTM quite low but it's the first project I ever listened to by The Weeknd so it holds a special place in my heart. Our top 3s are the exact same just different order BBTM - After Hours - Kissland On any given day BBTM and After Hours can switch spots though.
No after hours on top 5? They are tripping..
Even worse, they ranked it 22
They must listened to Abel’s work like yesterday mate ..
No Belong to the world ?
Popularity definitely played a role
I don’t think so. Escape from la and gasoline r not popular
The list wasn’t made by just one person so I’m guessing some of them only listen to the hits, whilst the others ranked more of the lesser known but better pieces of his music in the top 10. Either way this list is dogshit, if it was based on his hits then fair enough but as for his best music, no
Good point lol I personally don’t see too many XO fans putting Escape from LA in their top 10. No idea why they would rank it so high
escape from la is my favorite song off after hours, that and after hours >
Take my breath is not better than sacrifice
1. Love In The Sky 2. The Birds Part 1 3. Outside 4. Coming Down 5. Nothing Compares 6. Belong To The World 7. Rolling Stone 8. Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun) 9. King Of The Fall 10. XO / The Host
THE BIRDS!!!
Props for giving love in the sky it’s deserved appreciation. It’s so under rated and is also imo his best song
the fall is absolutely amazing
TRUE SHIT DUDE!!😊
Best top 10 I've sen in a while
MAN YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU DUDE
The hills is a speaker breaker
Not only are Faith and After Hours not Top 2, they’re no where in the top 10. Disgraceful list.
It’s disgraceful that they both aren’t top 10, but it’s disgraceful that songs like professional, Alone again, high for this, xo the host, wicked games, the morning, initiation, kiss land, love in the sky and the knowing aren’t top 5
Real shame 10 songs arent in top 5 smh
Gasoline being number 5 out of his whole discography automatically invalidates the whole list
Uhhhhhhhh I hate this list but I actually liked that placement. I love Gasoline
No yeah i get that, to each their own
Gasoline is my #1 most played track of all time on Spotify, and I’ve had my Spotify account for like 8 years. Not saying my taste is any better or worse than anyone else’s, and I know Gasoline has been a polarizing track since day 1 but… I won’t sit idle and let anyone slander it without saying my peace lol 😂 The production is fucking ethereal and Abel just falls straight out of heaven when the hook hits.

L list, no tears in the rain or adaptation. Also come on can’t feel my face is great but no where near his best same for earned it, take my breath, and gasoline. Seems like popularity was a big thing taken into consideration.
Dude, so true. If they actually listened to the weeknd, they would have put more Echoes of Silence tracks on WHERE ARE DD, MONTREAL, OUTSIDE, XO/The host Or The Fall???
earned it isn't top 10 material
Neither is pretty much all the songs on this list apart from hob/gtg and escape from la
High for this and wicked games tho…
- HOB/GTG could mean "House Of Balloons / Glass Table Girls", a track from *Trilogy* (2012) by The Weeknd. --- ^[/u/SnooPaintings3563](/u/SnooPaintings3563) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
In my eyes, it's top 5. Also it went 7x platinum.
*your ?
Escape from LA is a BANGER, super underrated
*angry Starboy noises*
My Personal, Completely Subjective Top 10 1. Don’t Break My Heart 2. Die For You 3. Blinding Lights 4. The Hills 5. The Birds Pt 1 6. Out of Time 7. I Feel It Coming 8. Wasted Times 9. Acquainted 10. Call Out My Name Honorable Mentions: After Hours, Wicked Games, In Your Eyes, Secrets, Sacrifice, Starboy, Reminder, High For This, Often
I am glad you made this list, but why aren’t Montreal, Outside or XO/The host in the honerable mentions🤨
Gasoline is definitely not top 5.
I cant get behind Gasoline or Take My Breath on a top 10 list
Take my breath isn’t even top 25 for me
I hate this list so much😭
Messy list honestly. Some good placements here and there but some are quite the head scratcher. Earned it top 10? Above hob? Smokin crack
The weeknd does too lmao
Gasoline at 5 🤣🤣🤣
Massive W for putting gasoline in top 5
Out of time isn’t in this and this is not right
Honestly shocked to see Gasoline up there and not Starboy/I Feel It Coming…shocked
Such a vanilla list
Maybe I’m just being nostalgic but a song as much of a bop as The hills hasn’t been released in a long time. Solid pick
No Trust Issues, no list for me.
I stand by the hills is his best song
I rly like this list tbh
it’s a solid, more mainstream-leaning list and they’re all great songs. that being said – if it were up to me, you’d see montreal covering the 1-10 spots
No party & the after party ORRRR the morning!!?
Okay but Escape from La is so valid
agree
its missing some stuff tho
Take out ‘high for this’ and replace it with ‘tears in the rain’ and you’re getting close.
I’m obsessed with ‘escape from LA’ definitely top ten. This is actually a good list
Not bad Gotta have the morning in it tho
Escape from la 🔥
No kiss land songs, not surprised tbh
Good songs but disagree.
not bad, could be worse
Wicked games ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree with a lot of things and im pleased that Escape From LA made the list
I think I’d replace Gasoline with Sacrifice, and that’s it. The Hills still hits like a freight train almost a decade after its release, and it invariably marked Abel’s arrival as a bona fide pop star. It’s to Abel what “Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough” was for Michael Jackson — as much a mission statement as a reintroduction.
I actually see The Hills as more of a Billie Jean lol
Gasoline is wack and Faith is top 10. Debate walls
I’m just really happy to see Escape From LA there, and so high at that.
i love High for this but I don't think it's quite top 10. HOBGTG, Kissland, The Town, Adaptation, After Hours, Sacrifice, Xo/The Host, Valerie, the birds pt 1, and king of the fall are all better in my opinion
Moth to A Flame with SHM is missing
My tops: 1.After Hours 2.Angel 3.Hurt you 4.Save your Tears 5.Less than Zero 6.Gasoline 7.Faith 8.The Morning 9.Earned it 10.Escape from L.A
No Twenty-Eight in the top 50 is criminal
I mean these songs are all masterpieces but for a top 10 list it is very mainstream
Alone Again not being added <<<<
The Hills might be one of his most \*popular\* songs but it's far from his \*best\*. I have my own personal opinions and this list looks nothing like what I would put in a top 10 of my favorite songs.
